The Red Lion or The Gatehangers
The Red Lion or The Gatehangers
This pub has two names. Originally and traditionally The Red Lion, it was renamed The Gatehangers in the mid 20th century. The story goes that in the village there was a dispute about animals getting in to the allotments, with a gate being left unhung adjacent to the entrance. Eventually someone agreed to hang the gate and as thanks the villagers hold an annual dinner at the pub to acknowledge the resolution of the dispute. That of course is a good reason for some charity fundraising, and the pub is indeed very much at the heart of this active community.

One side of the sign was repainted at the landlord's expense, but the brewery company refused to pay for the repainting of the other side, so that remains as the Red Lion. A close-up of the other side of the sign can be seen SP7014 : The Red Lion or The Gatehangers
